Where the Red Fern Grows meets To Kill a Mockingbird.
In the process of finding work, Jack meets Hank P.
When they meet while Jack is fishing, Jack knows that he and Bones are meant for each other, and he promises his oft-absent alcoholic parents that he\'ll somehow get a job to pay for his new dog\'s food and care.
It\'s 1968 in the rural coastline town of Denton, Florida, and the only thing with a tougher life than twelve-year-old Jack Turner is a starving dog named Bones.
